Terrace House: Aloha State: Part 2 This Japanese reality show has been slowly gaining a cult following since being released here on Netflix. It’s like a very chilled out, yet still slightly voyeuristic, version of Big Brother, where six young Japanese people are grouped together in a house… and that’s it.
